Second stupid question. How does one get from 78 or LP to WAV? Not that I intend to, just curious.
For some of the moderately painful details, please see the two pages on
analogue in the primer at my WWW site.
The analogue signal is digitized either by an internal sound card or by
an external equivalent. Assuming that the internal card is used, the
(preamplified) cartridge signal is fed to Line In of the computer. A
suitable program instructs the card on channels and sample rate, then
receives the digitized signal for editing and saving as WAV, AIFF or
whatever.
